No.  All you need is the win32/lib/*.def files.  It just happens to
work with *.dll too (since only recently btw).

libtcc1.a needs to be in win32/lib (of course)

tcc/include/* needs to be copied to tcc/win32/include (see Makefile or
build-tcc.bat).

Surely works.  But is horribly redundant ;)

Basically with CONFIG_TCCDIR set correctly (and with i386-win32-tcc
installed) all you need (and ever should need) is:

$ cd win32/examples
$ i386-win32-tcc hello_win.c

This produces hello_win.exe that can be run on windows or under wine.
